3 Misconceptions in Our New Sellers Market
March 06, 2021 00:52 VideoWhile it’s true that we’ve shifted into a strong seller’s market for some price ranges, that doesn’t mean you as a seller can take it easy.

People purchase homes based on emotion, then rationalize with logic afterward. Therefore, you should make the walk-through a positive emotional experience for buyers.
